Hi Folks,

We hope you're starting to feel the shift from 'lion' to 'lamb'! Spring is definitely arriving in 4-H—archery is underway, camp sign-ups are happening, and we're busy planning a fantastic summer. Let's shed those winter blues and get ready for a season of connection and fun!

Each photo will be judged by a group of skilled photographers. The top photo in each category will be printed, mounted and displayed at the State 4-H office, be a part of the 4-H State Art show at Summer Academy, shared on the Wisconsin 4-H social media sites, and available for display at other statewide events.

Each photo entry will cost the member $3.00. The cost of the entry fee helps to pay for the printing, mounting and displaying of the photos. Any excess funds will support other 4-H arts activities.

Become a scientist for a day. 
Imagine this: You'll be wading into the field (literally!), collecting water samples, and uncovering the secrets hidden within. We're talking about extracting DNA directly from the environment – it's like CSI for nature!

This isn't just another boring science lecture. This is your chance to be a real scientist, conduct experiments, and learn about some seriously cool stuff. You'll work alongside experienced researchers and other science-minded teens, making new friends and discovering your inner genius.
